Dr Laura Donnellan's Brainstorm article on Ireland producing the world's first animal anti-cruelty laws

RTÉ Brainstorm has published an article by Laura Donnellan entitled "How Ireland produced the world's first animal anti-cruelty laws in 1635". It explores the development of animal welfare legislation in Ireland. Embedded in the historical, economic, social, and cultural evolution of the Irish state, the relationship between humans and animals has been a notable feature. 

This relates to Laura's recent contribution to a new book. Her chapter is 'Recent Developments in Animal Welfare Law in Ireland' in Federico Dalpane, Maria Baideldinova eds, 'Animal Law Worldwide: Key Issues and Main Trends Across 27 Jurisdictions' (Asser Press/Springer 2024).
